ABC's of thankfulness

A- Atticus ... he makes me laugh everyday!
B- Butterflies ... make me want to welcome change
C- Cartoons ... remember Saturday morning cartoons, everything was clearly make-believe and the most serious of the bunch was Johnny Quest?
D- Deviled Eggs ... hmmm... I might have to add that to my menu sometime next week
E- Extreme Weather ... screaming wind, blowing snow, driving rain (scorching heat I can live without)
F- Football ... hard-hittin' slobber knockin' football
G- Girls who are teaching me how to be one
H- Harry Potter movies ... please don't send me hate mail
I- Ice from Sonic (or anywhere else that has pellets instead of cubes or chunks)
J- Jesus Loves Me ... I love this simple little song packing such a punch of truth
K- Kids who know that I love them like they are my own!
L- Laughter ... it is wonderful medicine
M- Moments where hearts open and fellowship abounds!
N-Nights at the beach ... a object lesson in how big God is and and how small I am ... the ominous roar that comes from the darkness that lies ahead, making me tremble with fear, yet filled with anticipation. Something so pure and so honest comes through in those memories that they seem like 'Holy Ground' moments. 
O- Older sisters ... I finally have one!!!
P- Pink ......... gotcha!!!!! ... not pink ... pinkie promises!
Q- Quiet silence ... you know the kind where everyone you love is under one roof, sleeping soundly, joy floods every cell in your body and time stands still
R- Reading late into the night
S- Sweatshirts ... gray, grungy, ratty ones are my favorites ... nothing in pastels with small forest creatures on them please ... old habits are hard to break
T- Talking with friends ... over coffee, huddled on a couch, on the beach, next to the pool, on the phone (There's a Dr. Seuss book in there somewhere)
U- Uninterrupted sleep ... mmmmmm
V- Venti Latte, nonfat, no foam, 2 raw sugars
W- Wrinkles ... might as well be thankful, they don't seem to be going anywhere
X- Extra Cheese on my pizza ... on my burger ... on my eggs ... you get the picture
Y- You for reading all the way to the bottom ... stop and go make breakfast for your family
Z- Zero outstanding balances
